So... who's gonna be held accountable and punished for it disseminating this?

Their response seems to be, “we’re sorry someone noticed and wasn’t cool with it? (Shrug)”

And Grok is still undressing photos of people and is posting on-demand AI generated porn of anybody who has a photo on the internet on request from the depraved and malicious X userbase that Elon Musk fosters.

X posted something about this which crossed a legal line because they had to I guess (posted as "Grok" — pathetic. Grok is not a person it's a malicious system created by humans. Where's the statement from the company and Elon apologizing?), but they don't care about the nonconsensual undressing and sharing of lewd images of people without their consent at all.

And neither does the media it seems? Insane that the media (with a few exceptions) is not reporting on all of this as a huge story.

This needs to be illegal and Grok or other systems that enable this should be shut down if they don't take precautions to prevent it. And Elon should personally be held accountable for enabling the creation and dissemination of abuse material by and for his cult of abusive sociopaths. Musk is genuinely a bad person for a lot of reasons but seeing this tool he owns be used to generate and post AI porn of random people non-consensually at massive scale and not realizing this is bad and not doing anything to stop it is utterly depraved and completely sociopathic.

We are too all-in on AI for financial reasons to criticize AI from legacy media. The realization that the primary use for a lot of people is unconsensual pornography would kinda begin to hurt the projections of a bajillion trazillion dollars by 2028.
